Awesome sweater! I love the ribbing detail and the raglan shaping with the stripes is lovely. Just, FYI, in the "Begin Raglan Shaping' section, you have to repeat the four rows 3 more times (for the M/L) to get to 196 stitches, not 2.

I am making this , larger size, and i am stumped at 'knit across 46 sleeve stitches' - they are in a round so how do I do it?

Hi Jo,

Since you put the underarm stitches on hold, the sleeve has become a flat piece, so you just knit across them. You'll see! It works out once you just do it!

Thanks for your question and good luck!
